Hailed To His King's Side

O' my beloved, hailed to his King's side
About his neck, his crucifix
About his breast, exalted pride

His charger armored for conflict
My heart racing at the ethereal sight
Our son, so young, his perfect mimic

Let me hold you, my beloved Knight
One more time, as we both know
Never will you return from this fight

But why, why must you go? Forget not your bow!
Tis but a whim of this jealous King
Who cares not, Of our family to grow-

From Heaven, be listening, for every year in early spring-
Ensuing this day hence, in your cherished memory, I shall sing.


Romance
*A charger is a big warhorse.

I really like this poem, Amy, I have been researching Victorian and older poetry lately, and this reminds of something very old, just beautiful, best of luck in the contest, and isn't the Terza Rima, a wonderful form?
